yes...please

AMEN Susan. Ya know...if they didnt want the whole world to know their personal business..they wouldnt be posting it in a public forum.... GEESH. I say take this crap to PMs and let this place go back to what it was...a lap band forum.

HELP!!! haha..just joking.....I walked 2 miles, cut the grass and did 45 min workout on the ball!

I wasnt totally sure where to post this But, the Obesity Help National Convention is coming to Kentucky! I wasnt sure if anyone would be intrested in going but, my friend goes every year and says its amazing! There are many seminars and oppurtunites to get together, in person, with people who are going thru the same thing you are! There are several seminars on how to continue to work with the band. There is even a seminar just for men! Anyway..its In October 27-28 and the entrance fee is $85. It also includes lunch and a masqarade ball.. I dunno..it sounds like it has a lot of info ..and It should be a good time. If any one is intrested...Ive got some rooms open at my B&B!:clap2:

Good Job Mom of Trips! I think what you said was honest and needed...thanks!

I think you all deserve to be on Jerry Springer. Duke it out there...leave lapbandtalk.com alone. Peace!

Its only a matter of time before all involved with this crap are banned...and then OH HAPPY DAY...we can get back to the reason we all came here...THE LAP BAND.

OMG....Give it a rest already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 pounds in 2 months? thats not a wish its a dream..lol

Dear Santa, I would really appreciate it if you help me to shed 3o pounds by Christmas. That would make me 220 and a size 16....please pretty please...I dont want anything else...oh..well..maybe some size 16 jeans. Thanks, Holly

sounds like gallbladder

Well, tonight is the first time Ive had people over for dinner since banding. UGH...I cooked a huge meal..BBQ pork loin ( homemade spicy bbq sauce cooked 8 hours slowlyyyyy), stir fryed veggies, homemade bread and homegrown blackberry cobbler...and promptly overate. Im not sick..and I didnt go crazy...but..Im way full. I remembered to eat protien first and I opted to eat a few pieces of potatoe instead of bread. I guess it could have been worse...but..ugh..I feel a total loss of control and bloated to the hilt...someone shoot me. lol :hungry: :help:

I was sitting here watching TV...and then this show came on...actually it was more like an infomercial. It was all about the lap band..how its done..and some people on that had it done. My issue is...every person they showed...had lost over 150 pounds. Is this realistic? or are they making false promises?? They seemed to glide over any issues..just focused on how you will magicly loose the weight with no work. They actually compare it to GBP. They give a website to go to..LapBandShow.com. I went to the website....I dunno why it urked me so much...but it did.

I think that some of you are missing the background on this... there was a terrible slew of threads yesterday with alot of name calling and really childish behavior. I think alot of people that normally dont pay much attention to it...got upset...I believe that this is a spillover from it.

DR c..he posts her somtimes.....He is in cinnci...and I just love him and his staff.

Wow! there really are Kentucky people here! I live in lagrange and was banded may 26,2006. Going well so far. I get my fills from Dr. C. How is everyone doing so far?

I dont know ...and I dont care. All that I know is that I come here to read and participate in issues that concern the band. If I wanted to read about cat fights or childish games I would go to an AOL chat room. I say...Keep it on subject or keep moving.

Yes Mods...please step in ..close this thread...and while your at it...clean up some accounts...do us all a favor...we are tired of seeing these kinds of threads.

Whats all this??? making money and slumber parties in the same sentence? Man, where do I sign up? lol

Anyone else with parrots? This is Fred...the great masterbating bird. It never seems to fail that when I have company over...he starts making love to couch and screaming...YEAH BABY...

Thats my leg...it goes allllll the way down...and eventually...all the way up...lol..in real lif my leg doesnt look so damn fat!..lol...but its the only angle I could get most of it in.

Hey I just thought I would show one of mine...its still in progress

I am only a few months out from having the band, but I can say that Im in love with it. Not only have I lost 35 pounds..I have a new life. I dont worry about my weight like I used to..I dont worry about living a life I love anymore. Everyday is a new day..I know it sounds dumb...but I really believe it. The hope and the realization of losing this weight makes me squeel like a shcool girl.

so, I went for my second fill today...and I've lost 12 more pounds!! I just cant believe it...12 pounds in one month! Ive lost 20% of my excess weight! I knw my rings and clothes are falling off me.....but...woohoo!! Ok,I'm done with my rant!:faint:

Honestly...I grill a chicken breast and throw in some broccoli and carrots....kinda steam it all together..and I eat it on a daily basis. If I am craving somthing sweet..I will have a 100 calorie pack or a sugar free popsicle. I do have the occasional Ice cream from DQ..I know I shouldnt say that...but I get a small cone and dont eat the cone, I also love chips and queso. I dont count calories. I exercise daily for about a 1/2 hour ( core secrets is the best for me). I didnt have any restriction after surgery..and even after my first fill I didnt have any. I like to eat off a saucer and with chopsticks...and when its gone its gone. I dunno..it just works for me...I would imagine that if I gave up ice cream and queso...I would be alot thinner. Oh yeah..I dont eat bread or potatoes. I also drink tons and tons and tons of water.
